Abstract
With improvements in techniques and implants, upper extremity arthroplasty is becoming increasingly popular. Total shoulder arthroplasty has been demonstrated to be effective in patients with osteoarthritis and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty has become a viable option in such patients with concomitant rotator cuff deficiency. Arthroplasty of the elbow, wrist, and finger joints also have roles in the treatment of multiple arthritic conditions.
